Merit Versus Kinship: A Category Mistake? The Case of the Philippine Civil Service
Acceptance of merit's pivotal role in establishing and maintaining effective bureaucracies has become second nature. In this paper I explore the association between merit and kinship in the Philippine civil service, although the conclusions that emerge are not peculiar either to the case of the Philippines or to the ‘developing’ world in general. I argue that merit is no less social than kinship; that its meaning for actors is broader, and the va…

The Economic Significance of the Chinese in the Philippines: An Analysis of its Overstatement
The preeminence of overseas Chinese communities within the economies of Southeast Asia and within those countries' trade with China has come to form part of our basic knowledge of East Asia. With particular reference to the Philippines, this article considers the unreliability of recent and current estimates of Chinese economic activities, and why this is so. It suggests that long-established and very powerful street representations of the Chines…
The Philippine Legislature and Social Relationships: Toward the Formalization of the Polity
Government in the Philippines is widely described as inefficient, chaotic, and corrupt. With particular reference to the legislature, this article considers the nature of problems with government in the Philippines, the direction from which possible solutions may emerge, and the possibility of the polity's transformation from a condition of comparative informality to one of greater formality. It is suggested that many of the problems with the leg…

Informality in the Philippine Civil Service
Philippine political and bureaucratic organisations are usually presented as weak, permeable, distorted and corrupt and, as such, lie some way from a proper condition of formality. There is no question that informal behaviour can and does have a deleterious effect on the civil service and the organisations it staffs. But it is also clear that, within the bureaucracy, there is a deal of positive informal behaviour. It is suggested here that inform…
Political Interference in the Philippine Civil Service
When set against a more international and generic literature, the relative thinness of the debate on the Philippine civil service, and its comparatively limited engagement with that literature, is very marked, as is the need for more critical attention to be directed at the problems facing the service. In particular, the certainty and ease with which the service is presented as a mere appendage of a distorted polity, and its informal qualities ar…
Orientalism and the Study of the Philippine Polity
Although a critique of orientalism in the study of the Philippine polity has emerged comparatively late in the day, it has stimulated a lively, and often acerbic, debate. The aim of this paper is to report on aspects of the original debate, and to comment on its implications for subsequent analyses. The argument that American scholarship has transformed Philippine politics into a negative 'other' and 'essentialized' political behavior, and the eq…
Between Two Worlds - Society, Politics, and Business in the Philippines
This book considers the tensions and complementarities between two different attitudes towards social relationships - on the one hand, the attitude aspired to in the West, which emphasises individualism, institutional probity, and the rule of law, and which regards social relationships as ideals or absolutes; and, on the other hand, the attitude often found in Asia, where loyalties based on kinship, local networks, and places of origin are vitall…

Business, Politics, and Social Relationships in the Philippines: A Gentle Revolution
This paper examines the extent and significance of social relationships in business and politics in the Philippines. It is suggested that small collections of enterprises organized into webs are set atop a thick blanket of small, economically weak enterprises which lies across the archipelago. It is further suggested that the connections between politician and merchant represent the tendrils through which very personal interests in the national e…
China and the world: Perception and analysis
This paper considers whether China's images of itself may have influenced analyses of China from the outside, and thereby skewed understanding. A sense of Chineseness, of a culture and civilization which is somehow very different from any other, is a recurrent theme in China's history and in the history of Europe's direct contacts with China. Acceptance by Europeans of such images as true representations of China is itself a tradition which stret…

A Filipino Community in Chinatown? Filipino Migrant Workers in Hong Kong
This paper attempts to piece together a preliminary understanding of the organization of Filipino migrant workers in Hong Kong. It is argued that the relationships, foci of cohesion, and lines of division established by migrants, and the institutions to which they give rise (predominantly the associations), are used to create an image of a community. Frequently it is an image that is unidimensional and static, but it is one which may alter accord…
The West Pacific Rim: An Introduction
This one-of-a-kind guide provides a readable and stimulating introduction to the economic and social geography of the West Pacific Rim (WPR), considered by many as the center of gravity of the world economy. It embraces Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Concise, well-written and up-to-date, it offers a view of the entire region as well as individual countries. Three sets of questi…
Exchange and Reform in the Economy of Shanghai Municipality: Socialist Geography under Reform
This paper outlines changes in the exchange system that have occurred in Shanghai Municipality since the economic reforms of 1978. These reforms profoundly affect the balance and interaction between the two major forms of exchange: trade, and state procurement and distribution. The objective of the Reforms of 1978 was to effect national commercial integration within the existing political and administrative framework. It was hoped that by allowin…
Planning for Development in Davao City, the Philippines
China's Industry: Horizontal Linkages in Shanghai
The reforms introduced in China's industry since 1978 have revealed a fundamental tension between the state's need to engineer a commercially-integrated economy and its determination to prevent any significant change in the present structure of ownership and in the general administrative organization and control of economic activities. As this case study of industrial change in Shanghai Municipality suggests, the philosophical and logistical need…
